Mom of 3 (11, 5 and 3 Years Old) 5"2 165lbs

Finaly my date is set 9/20/18 for my bbl with Dr Dowbak. I have been looking for a surgeon for the past year, before I was thinking to travel to Colombia and get my sx done with Dr Marcos Petro his job is amazing but his reviews wasn't as good as Dr Dowbak's. I went to my consultation with Dr Dowbak and the first thing that I love about her is the humbleness she is amazing and treat you as a person she does her work cause she love it not because she sees you as a $ sing. I'm 1 hour away from her clinic but she still want me to stay closer to her clinic so I may be staying at Paradise recovery house. I'm in the process of losing weight my goal is to go in for sx at 160lbs even though when I went to her I was 170lbs and she told me I didn't have to go to loose weight until after the sx. I really nervous!!! I have been purchasing my supplies but I'm still looking for the women urinal and Arnica cream(Anyone knows where to find it?). I will been updating you guys in my journey... As soon my sx is done I will be posting pictures of my before and after.

Hiii!! Good luck on your journey! I'm booked with DR dowbak for November and im so excited !! I wish I can meet her before then. I see so many great reviews and compliments as well. So I got my arnica cream from walmart and I heard you can get the female urinal on Amazon! If you have a printer I think the is still a $2 dollar off coupon for arnica. O btw what supplies have you bought so far? Are you getting anything from dr dowbak?
Hi thank you for the info I will check the arnica cream... From Dr Dowbak I'm getting what came with the surgery package 1 faja 3 massages 2 foam board and 1 pair of compression socks and I can remember what else. For my surgery I bought 4 maxi dresses another faja, 2 more pairs of compression socks, bed pads, medical supplies like alcohol, gauze hand sanitizer etc, slip on shoes, feminine wipes and a few little extra stuff that I'm not sure if I will need but I bought them like pedialyte pill organizer for vitamins Iron pills. Good luck in your Journey too
Np!!! I was going to get some things from dr dowbak too but I'm still debating! Where did you get your maxi dresses? I'm having a hard time finding that. Please keep me posted on your journey!
I got my dresses from Ross. They are long and wide on the showlders no cleavage showing cause I don't want the faja to show lol. I will keep you posted.
Was it hard to get an appointment I’m looking for something possibly September or October
At the beginning it was a little frustrating cause my coordinator was taking too long to respond but after she didn't answer a couple of my messages I called the office and spoke with the receptionist and told them that I need it to either my coordinator to call me back or I will change her or I needed the office manager to call me. My coordinator call me at the end of the day and set up my appointment within the next day. Is a very busy office but sense day 1 I spoke with my coordinator very clear she don't make me waste my time and I won't make her waste hers. But sense then I haven't have any problems, but I still have to get appointments for preop and blood and things like that.
Also I requested to get an appointment on Thursday cause I want to recover over the weekend so my family can be with me and it wasn't hard
Thank you. When did you set your date? Was it this week you were able to lock your date
It was the last week of July but before they give you the appointment you need to give your deposit and pay for the entire surgery or finance it
Kk. The call center called but a coordinator hasn’t called me yet. I’ll give a call Monday
Have you spoke with anyone? Or your deposit at all?
The call center called on Friday and said someone will contact me that morning but I don’t hear from anyone. So I sent emails to two coordinators with pics and my med history over the weekend. I’m going to call today when they open. I’m ready to book!
I hope they call you. Good luck!!!
Thank u I’ve been in contact with Elena it’s looking like November :/
Oh ☹ I hope they can fit you in soon! Good luck!!
Thanks! And wishing u a speedy recovery
Thank you!!!
Following!! Can’t wait for your before and afters, I am your same height and weight! 3 kids too lol 13, 9 and soon to be 1. I’m thinking of going with Dowbak. Just got my virtual consult from him and feel very confident he could be the one for me but I don’t plan to go until next year. So definitely will be living viciously through his patients.

The arnica cream can be found at Walgreens and Cvs. And also can be found at gnc or vitamin world in pill form. I’m a licensed aesthetician and would highly recommend getting both arnica and bromelain. You’ll be happy you did. Stock up on lots of dole 100% pineapple juice if you can’t find the bromelain.
Also recommend thrombocid forte cream, stool softener or laxatives. Honestly don’t think you’ll need the urinal that’s more like if you’re getting a tummy tuck. A bbl will feel sore but you’ll be more than ok to walk to the bathroom especially since you’ll be off your butt 99% of the time.
Hey thanks for the info... Dr Dowbak is a awesome person and a great surgeon. I'm trying to loose a little bit of weight still. It's not easy lol I will keep you posted!!!
I got my urinal & Arnica Cream on Amazon. My surgery is 8/22 with Dr. Dowbak & I cant wait!
Yayyy yours is next week. Are you ready?
Yaaassss! I’m sooo ready. The closer I get the more butterflies I get but I’m definitely ready lol
Lol I'm ready but scare at the same time. I will be praying for you!!!
I will keep you poste on my journey. I'm headed down to Miami tomorrow morning at 4am. I'll take before and after pics to post to my profile as well. Thanks!
Good luck!!! I will be praying for you! Where are you coming from?
I’m in Jacksonville FL so like 5 hours away
Oh yeah its far I'm around 1 hour away from the clinic but I may stay in a recovery house for 2 days
